Just my two cents, but I would avoid using Maven at all and just unzip the
standard war, modify files, and zip it back into a customized war. War
files are just zips with a specific layout. This is the approach I've been
using, and I'm able to do things like customize the data directory, modify
the GWC directory in web.xml, add plugins to the lib folder, etc.
